No operator could count for 2 states, EN40 is both in MO & IL, so to get this square for both states have to work 2 operators in EN40- one in each state.
Example: To work MO - work operators in 8 of the following Grid Squares
EN20, EN30, EN40, EM29, EM39, EM49, EM28, EM38, EM48, EM27, EM37, EM47, EM57, EM26, EM36, EM46, EM56
IN would be 9 of the following
